For those who are struggling in Vietnam and saves everything, this article is particularly relevant. Relatively new way of staying in Ho Chi Minh City Hostel . As in many other countries of the world, hostel is much cheaper than hotels. Especially a lot of hostels in the Pham Ngu Lao region, so that it seems that everyone opens a new one. At the moment there are almost 50 hostels in Saigon. Prices for hostels in Ho Chi Minh City are about the same (from $ 5 per bed in a dormitory room and $ 12 for a double room), facilities and a common location also do not differ much (they are almost all in the center either in District 1) - so, sometimes it is difficult to choose which Yes, one. But here is a couple, in which you can definitely settle without thinking.
Saigon Backpackers Hostel. (373/220 PHAM NGU Lao, district 1), is still one of the best hostels in the city.
In the hostel 10 rooms, rooms are very simple, 1-8 beds, with balcony or without. The rooms are clean and with air conditioning, with a separate locker near each bed. Of course, it is very cheap, but it is worth stopping in this hostel at least because the hostel is a very pleasant atmosphere, it is big, and there are always many travelers from other countries that are going for a billiard table and in the lobby with all kinds of entertainment. The hostel is a 15-minute walk from the Opera House.
Next to the alley, which is very difficult to find, is worth Phan Anh Backpackers Hostel (373/6 Pham Ngu Lao Street, Pham NGU Lao Ward, district 1). Hostel with 14 rooms, with double and common numbers, where for each tourist there is an individual locker.
Pure and simple hostel, though, without a recreation area, so, you can get acquainted in the dining area. And then there is an elevator - what no other hostel of Saigon has.
Located on more busy and full bars and stores Allea, SAIGON YOUTH HOSTEL (241/32 Pham NGU Lao, district 1) more like a hotel or a guest house.
Do not think that only young let go to the hostel (after all, the name of the hostel is translated as a "Saigon Youth Hostel") - you do not have to be 20 years old to stay here for the night. The rooms are small here in comparison with other hostels around the city, four rooms barely fit into the room. There are several rooms on 1 and two people (4- maximum). Nevertheless, the rooms are pretty, wooden beds, and the hostel is allowed to walk only without shoes, so it is always very clean and homely. And the entertainment is very pleasant - table football, chairs and tables to chat with other residents of the hostel after a "labor day". The hostel is a 5-minute walk from Ben Thhan Market, there is free Wi-Fi.
Name of hostel Koniko Backpackers Hostel. (149 Bui Vien, District 1) directly speaks for itself. It is often called simply "Binh An Hostel" and it is probably the biggest hostel in Saigon.
Rooms are large here, with enough beds (up to 10). That is, on the room you can safely move. In addition, there are personal lockers and air conditioning, the rooms are large windows and perhaps the only parquet floors in Saigon. In addition, this hostel has a very good location - in the very center of Ho Chi Minhine, a 5-minute walk from the Ben Thhan Market. If you want to taste a local nightlife, this is the best place. Despite the numerous advantages, the living room area in the hostel is not, but you don't notice this little minus, because so much interesting is happening outside!
In general, if you are confused with other strangers, choose inexpensive rooms for two in the same hostels - it's so cheap!
Before hostels captured tourists' attention, who arrived in Ho Chi Mini stopped in Gastasov. Gasthauses are more expensive than hostels in Ho Chi Minh City, but the budget will not hurt exactly (more expensive for a couple of dollars, if only). If you are more important comfort and private life, choose the Gasthus. They are in Ho Chi Minhine more than 30.
In the heart of his beloved tourists, Pham NGU Lao, is NGOC PHAN GUESTHOUSE. (35/12 Bui Vien, District 1) - one of the most convenient locations. From the Gasthus to the Ben Thhan market, you can easily walk on foot, as well as to the other major sights of Saigon. Guest house next to the main road, but only on a small alley - so the street noise is less than. There are standard rooms (from 360,000 VNDs) and family rooms (from 600000 VND). Both with standard amenities, TV, air conditioning and Wi-Fi, but family rooms "Four Plus" are still with a small balcony. Unfortunately there is no elevator, and the best family rooms are at the top. In the Gasthaus there are only 10 numbers and not all family, hurry to book.
A bit outside the popular area, on a small alley filled with other gesthauses, between CO Bac and Co Giang, California Guesthouse. (171A CO BAC, District 1), which offers homemade comfort and a relaxed atmosphere away from street vendors and night bars.
This Gasthaus is more than other gestheses of the city, but still the feeling of privacy and tranquility is not lost. The rooms have all modern amenities, such as TV, air conditioning and private bathroom. For all guests there is a fully equipped kitchen, where you can store and cook yourself.
There is even a small roof garden, from where you can enjoy the view of the surroundings. Stay outside the more popular area will allow you to save some money, as the rooms come here from 260,000 dongs in the night including breakfast (although it is more difficult to order it in this Gasthus).
And finally apartments . This is also a very popular type of placement. Apartments in Ho Chi Minh City gives up a lot, as much as hostels. One-bedroom apartment stands from $ 30 per night, which is also quite tolerable. You can search on booking sites, such as the old good buking. But it is possible in here: http://www.thenest-vietnam.com/ is for those who are going to live in the city longer, and the apartment will cost cheaper. By the way, be prepared for the fact that the apartment may not be slabs or even the kitchen. One-day of the day is not scary, for a month, the tin!
